Operating instructions
Prior to using for the first time
Before using your dishwasher for the first time:
1. Ensure that the electrical and water connections comply with the
installation instructions
2. Remove all packaging from inside the appliance
3. Set the water softener
4. Pour 1 litre of water inside the salt container and then fill with salt
5. Fill the rinse aid dispenser.
Setting the water softener
The dishwasher is equipped with a water softener designed to remove
minerals and salts from the water supply, which would have a
detrimental or adverse effect on the operation of the appliance.
The higher the content of these salts, the harder your water is.
Water hardness is measured in equivalent scales, German degrees,
French degrees and mmol/l (millimol per litre).
The softener should be adjusted according to the hardness of the water
in your area. Your local Water Authority can advise you on the
hardness of the water in your area.
The water softener must be set in both ways: manually, using the water
hardness switch and electronically, using the function push buttons on
the control panel.

Filling the with salt
Only use salt specifically designed for use in dishwashers.
All other types of salt not specifically designed for use in a
dishwasher, especially table salt, will damage the water softener.
Only fill with salt just before starting one of the complete washing
programmes.
This will prevent any grains of salt or salty water, which may have
been spilt, remaining on the bottom of the machine for any period
of time, which may cause corrosion.
To fill:
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket and unscrew the
cap of the salt container by turning it anticlockwise.
2. Pour 1 litre of water inside the container (this is necessary only
before filling with salt for the first time).
3. Using the funnel provided, pour in the
LE

there is no trace of salt on the screw
thread or on the gasket.
5. Screw on the cap tightly turning it
clockwise until it stops with a click.
SR14
The salt container will require topping up periodically. You are
reminded of this by the salt indicator light on the control panel which
comes on when the salt has finished.
The salt indicator light on the control panel can remain
illuminated for 2-6 hours after the salt has been replenished,
assuming the dishwasher remains switched on. If you are using
salts that take longer to dissolve then this can take longer. The
function of the machine is not affected.
Do not worry if water over flows from the unit when filling with salt,
this is quite normal.

Operating instructions
Different kinds of detergent
Detergent tablets
Detergent tablets of different brands dissolve at different speeds. For
this reason some detergent tablets cannot dissolve and develop their
full cleaning power during short programmes. Therefore please use
long programmes when using detergent tablets, to ensure the
complete removal of detergent residuals.
Do not place the tablets in the tub or in the cutlery basket as this
will result in poorer wash results. The tablets should be placed in
the detergent dispenser.
Concentrated detergent
Based on their chemical composition, dishwasher detergents can be
split into two basic types:
- conventional, alkaline detergents with caustic components.
- low alkaline concentrated detergents with natural enzymes.
The use of 50°C washing programmes in conjunction with
concentrated detergents reduces pollution and is good for your dishes;
these wash programmes are specially matched to the dirt-dissolving
properties of the enzymes in the concentrated detergent. For this
reason 50°C wash programmes in which concentrated detergents are
used can achieve the same results that can otherwise only be achieved
using 65°C programmes.
Combi detergents
If you are using dishwasher detergent that includes the rinse aid
function, this must be placed in the detergent compartment.
In this case it is necessary to deactivate the inflow of rinse aid, in
order to avoid a double dosage (see “Deactivation/activation of the
inflow of rinse aid”).

Use of "3 in 1" combi detergents
General advice
These products are detergents with integrated and combined
detergent/rinse-aid and salt functions.
1. Before using these products you should first check that the water
hardness in your supply is compatible with the use of these products
as per the detergent manufacturers (on the product packaging).
2. These products should be strictly used according to the detergent
manufacturers instructions.
3. If you encounter problems when using 3 in 1 products for the first
time then please contact the detergent manufacturers care line
(the telephone number is given on the product packaging).
Special advice
When using combination 3 in 1 products select the lowest possible
setting for water hardness.
If you decide to turn back to the use of the standard detergent system
we advise that you:
● Refill both the salt container and rinse aid dispenser.
● Switch the water hardness setting to the highest possible position
and run from 1 to 3 normal washing programmes without a load.
● Readjust the water hardness setting again according to the
hardness of the water in your area.

GLASS CARE
(1) The consumption values were obtained under standardised conditions. They depend on how
full the baskets for the dishes are. Variations are therefore possible in practice.
(2) Testing programme for EN 50242 (see "Hints for Test Centres). This programme, developed for the
use of detergents with enzymes, allows you to achieve, with reduced consumption of energy the
same cleaning results that would otherwise be obtained only with the 65°C programmes and
conventional detergents. To compensate the lower temperature, the duration of
washing and drying have been extended.
"AUTOMATIC" washing programme
During the "AUTOMATIC" washing programme the amount of soil on the dishes is determined by how
cloudy the water is.
If the appliance is partially loaded and the dishes lightly soiled, the "prewash"", main wash", and "rinse"
phases of the programme are shorter and the water consumption level is lower.
If the appliance is fully loaded and the dishes heavily soiled, the "prewash"", main wash", and "rinse" phases
of the programme are longer and the water consumption level is higher.
For this reason the programme duration, water and energy consumption levels can vary within the stated
range for AUTOMATIC programme (see "Washing programmes chart").
During the "AUTOMATIC" programme the temperature of the main wash water is also automatically
adjusted between 50°C and 65°C depending on the amount of soil on the dishes.

Operating instructions
To cancel a washing programme
To cancel a washing programme you have to reset the dishwasher;
press simultaneously the function push buttons 2 and 3 for about
2 seconds, the indicator light of the running programme starts
flashing for about 2 seconds. After about 2 seconds all the
indicator lights will turn off (except for the On/Off indicator light
and eventually the rinse aid and salt indicator lights) indicating
that the running programme has been cancelled.
If a new washing programme will be selected, check that there is
detergent in the detergent dispenser.
7. To cancel a "delay start"
To cancel a delay start you have to reset the dishwasher; follow the
same instructions given in "To cancel a washing programme".
Cancelling a delay start involves also the cancelling of the setted
washing programme.
In this case you have to set the washing programme again.
8. End of the washing programme
The dishwasher will automatically stop.
In the digital display appears 0 (remaining programme time), only
in this case the programme has ended.
If the door is not immediately opened at the end of the
programme, air will circulate inside the dishwasher to prevent
residual steam recondensing on the dishes as water droplets.
This device operates intermittently for about 20 minutes, as
long as the dishwasher is switched on.
If the On/Off push button is pressed or the door is opened during
these 20 minutes, the device will be automatically cancelled.
Hot steam may escape from the appliance when opening the door
immediately after the end of the programme, therefore, open the
door carefully.
Switch off the dishwasher by pressing the On/Off push button.
Open the door and wait a few minutes before removing the dishes;
in this way they will be cooler and the drying will be improved.

9. Unloading the dishwasher
Hot dishes are sensitive to knocks. The dishes should therefore be
allowed to cool down before removing from the appliance.
Empty the lower basket first and then the upper one; this will
avoid water dripping from the upper basket onto the dishes in the
lower one.
Water may appear on the sides and the door of the dishwasher as
the stainless steel will eventually become cooler then the dishes.
When the washing programme has finished, it is recommended
that the dishwasher is unplugged and the water tap turned off.

Operating instructions
Maintenance and cleaning
Clean the external surfaces of the machine and control panel with a
damp soft cloth. If necessary use only neutral detergents. Never use
abrasive products, scouring pads or solvent (acetone, trichloroethylene
etc....).
Ensure that the seals around the door, the detergent and rinse aid
dispensers are cleaned regularly with a damp cloth.
We recommend every 3 months to run a 65°C wash programme
without dishes using detergent.
Cleaning the filters
The filters must be checked and cleaned from time to time.
Dirty filters will degrade the washing result.
1. Open the door, remove the lower basket.
2. The dishwasher filter system comprises a coarse (A/B), a microfilter
(C) and a flat filter (D).
Some dishwasher will only have a coarse filter (A), a microfilter
(C) and a flat filter (D).
Unlock the filter system using the handle on the microfilter, and
remove.

4. Take hold of the coarse/fine filter (A/B) by the handle with the hole
and remove from the microfilter (C).
5. Clean all filters thoroughly under running water.
6. Remove the flat filter (D) from the base of the washing
compartment and clean both faces thoroughly.
MA31
7. Put the flat filter (D) back in the base of the washing compartment.
8. Place the coarse/fine filter (A/B) in the microfilter (C) and press
together.
9. Put the filter combination in place and lock by turning the handle
clockwise to the stop. During this process ensure that the flat filter
does not protrude above the base of the washing compartment.
Under no circumstances may the dishwasher be used without
filters.
Incorrect repositioning and fitting of the filters will produce poor
washing results.
NEVER try to remove the upper
spray arm.
If residues of soil have clogged the
holes in the upper spray arm,
remove them with a toothpick.

Guarantee terms
Guarantee terms (Belgium)
Our appliances are produced with the greatest of care. However, a defect may still occur.
Our consumer services department will repair this upon request, either during or after the
guarantee period. The service life of the appliance will not, however, be reduced as a
result.
This declaration of guarantee terms is based on European Union Directive 99/44/EC and
the provisions of the Civil Code. The statutory rights that the consumer has under this
legislation are not affected by this declaration of guarantee terms.
This declaration does not affect the vendor’s statutory warranty to the end user. The
appliance is guaranteed within the context of and in adherence with the following terms:
1. In accordance with provisions laid down in paragraphs 2 to 15, we will remedy free
of charge any defect that occurs within 24 months from the date the appliance is
delivered to the first end user.
These guarantee terms do not apply in the event of use for professional or equivalent
purposes.
2. Performing the guarantee means that the appliance is returned to the condition it
was in before the defect occurred. Defective parts are replaced or repaired.
Parts replaced free of charge become our property.
3. So as to avoid more severe damage, the defect must be brought to our attention
immediately.
4. Applying the guarantee is subject to the consumer providing proof of purchase
showing the purchase and/or delivery date.
5. The guarantee will not apply if damage caused to delicate parts, such as glass
(vitreous ceramic), synthetic materials and rubber, is the result of inappropriate use.
6. The guarantee cannot be called on for minor faults that do not affect the value or
the overall reliability of the appliance.
7. The statutory warranty does not apply when defects are caused by:
● a chemical or electrochemical reaction caused by water,
● abnormal environmental conditions in general,
● unsuitable operating conditions,
● contact with harsh substances.
8. The guarantee does not apply to defects due to transport which have occurred
outside of our responsibility. Nor will the guarantee cover those caused by
inadequate installation or assembly, lack of maintenance or failure to respect the
assembly instructions or directions for use.
9. Defects that result from repairs or measures carried out by people who are not
qualified or expert or defects that result from the addition of non-original
accessories or spare parts are not covered by the guarantee.

Guarantee terms
10. Appliances that are easy to transport may be delivered or sent to the consumer
services department. Home repairs are only anticipated for bulky appliances or builtin appliances.
11. If the appliances are built-in, built-under, fixed or suspended in such a way that
removing and replacing them in the place where they are fitted takes more than half
an hour, the costs that result therefrom will be charged for. Connected damage
caused by these removal and replacement operations will be the responsibility of the
user.
12. If, during the guarantee period, repairing the same defect repeatedly is not
conclusive, or if the repair costs are considered disproportionate, in agreement with
the consumer, the defective appliance may be replaced with another appliance of
the same value.
In this event, we reserve the right to ask for a financial contribution calculated
according to the length of time it has been used.
13. A repair under guarantee does not mean that the normal guarantee period will be
extended nor that a new guarantee period begins.
14. We give a twelve month guarantee for repairs, limited to the same defect.
15. Except in the event where liability is legally imposed, this declaration of guarantee
terms excludes any compensation for damage outside the appliance for which the
consumer wishes to assert his rights. In the event of legally admitted liability,
compensation will not exceed the purchase price paid for the appliance.
These guarantee terms are only valid for appliances purchased and used in Belgium. For
exported appliances, the user must first make sure that they satisfy the technical
conditions (e.g.: voltage, frequency, installation instructions, type of gas, etc.) for the
country concerned and that they can withstand the local climatic and environmental
conditions. For appliances purchased abroad, the user must first ensure that they meet
the qualifications required in Belgium. Non-essential or requested adjustments are not
covered by the guarantee and are not possible in all cases.
Our consumer services department is always at your disposal, even after the guarantee
period has expired.

Installation instructions
Installation instructions
Any electrical and/or plumbing work required to install this
appliance should be carried out by a qualified electrician and/or
plumber or competent person.
Remove all packaging before positioning the machine.
If possible, position the machine next to a water tap and a drain.
Building-in
This dishwasher is designed to be fitted under a kitchen counter or
worksurface.
Attention!
Carefully follow the instructions on the enclosed template for
building in the dishwasher and fitting the furniture panel.
No further openings for the venting of the dishwasher are required,
but only to let the water fill and drain hose and power supply cable
pass through.
The dishwasher incorporates adjustable feet to allow the adjustment
of the height.
During all operations that involve accessibility to internal components
the dishwasher has to be unplugged.
When inserting the machine, ensure that the water inlet hose, the
drain hose and the supply cable are not kinked or squashed.
Levelling
Good levelling is essential for correct closure and sealing of the door.
When the appliance is correctly levelled, the door will not catch on
either side of the cabinet.
If the door does not close correctly, loosen or tighten the adjustable
feet until the machine is perfectly level.
Fixing to the adjacent units
The dishwasher must be secured against tilting.
Therefore make sure that the counter it is fixed under, is suitably
secured to a fixed structure (adjacent kitchen units cabinets, wall).

Installation instructions
Water supply connections
This dishwasher may be fed with either hot (max. 60°) or cold water.
Nevertheless we advise you a cold water supply.
A hot water supply is not always efficient with very soiled crockery as
it shortens the washing programmes a lot.
For making the connection itself, the coupling nut fitted to the
machine’s supply hose is designed to screw onto either a 3/4" inch
gas thread spout or to a purpose made quick-coupling tap such as
the Press-block.
The water pressure must be within the limits given in the "Technical
specifications". Your local Water Authority will advise you on the
average mains pressure in your area.
The water inlet hose must not be kinked, crushed, or entangled when
it is being connected up.
The dishwasher features fill and drain hoses which can be turned
either to the left or the right to suit the installation by means of the
locknut. The locknut must be correctly fitted to avoid water leaks.
(Attention! NOT all models of dishwashers have fill and drain hoses
provided with locknut. In this case, this kind of facility is not
possible).
If the machine is connected to new pipes or pipes which have not
been used for a long time, you should run the water for a few
minutes before connecting the inlet hose.
Do not use, for connection, old hoses which have been used in
another appliance.
The dishwasher is fitted with safety devices that prevent the wash
water returning into the drinking water system and comply with the
applicable plumbing regulations.

Water inlet hose with safety valve
After connecting the double-walled water inlet hose, the safety valve
is next to the tap. Therefore the water inlet hose is only under pressure
while the water is running. If the water inlet hose starts to leak during
this operation, the safety valve cuts off the running water.
Please take care when installing the water inlet hose:
- The electrical cable for the safety valve is in the double-walled
water inlet hose. Do not immerse the water inlet hose or the safety
valve in water.
- If water inlet hose or the safety valve is damaged, remove the mains
plug immediately.
- A water inlet hose with safety valve must only be replaced by a
specialist or by the consumer services department.
- Place the water inlet hose in such a way that it is never higher than
the bottom edge of the safety valve.

Installation instructions
Water outlet hose connection
The end of the drain hose can be connected in the following ways:
1. To the sink outlet spigot, securing it to the underside of the work
surface. This will prevent waste water from the sink running into the
machine.
2. Hooked over the edge of the sink using the special curved plastic
guide (if provided with the machine).
3. To a stand pipe provided with vent-hole, minimum internal
diameter 4 cm.
The waste connection must be at a height of between 30 cm
(minimum) and 100 cm (maximum) from the bottom of the
dishwasher.
The drain hose can face either to the right or left of the dishwasher
Ensure the hose is not bent or squashed as this could prevent or slow
down the discharge of water.
The sink plug must not be in place when the machine is draining as
this could cause the water to siphon back into the machine.
If you use a drain hose extension it must be no longer than 2 metres
and its internal diameter must be no smaller than the diameter of the
hose provided.
CS18
Likewise the internal diameter of the couplings used for connections
to the waste outlet must be no smaller than the diameter of the hose
provided.
Attention!
Our appliances are supplied with a security device to protect against
the return of dirty water back into the machine.
If the spigot of your sink has a "no return valve" incorporated this can
prevent the correct draining of your dishwasher.
We advise you therefore to remove it.

Installation instructions
Electrical connection
Information concerning the electrical connection is given on the
rating plate on the edge of the dishwasher’s door.
Before plugging the appliance into the wall socket, make sure that:
1. The mains voltage and current rating at the site of installation
match the nominal voltage and current rating given on the rating
plate.
2. The meter, fuses, mains power supply and wall socket can all take
the maximum load required. Make sure that the socket and plug are
compatible without having to use any type of adaptor. If necessary,
have the domestic wiring system socket replaced.
To isolate the dishwasher from mains, remove the mains plug.
Important!
The plug must still be accessible after the appliance has been
installed.
In case that the electrical cable has to be replaced, please contact
your local consumer services department.
The appliance should not be connected to the electrical supply by
means of an extension cable.
Safety standards require the appliance to be earthed.
The manufacture accepts no liability for failure to observe the
above safety precautions.
